1. I agree with this quote because we cannot possibly contemplate God accurately, so any visual picture we make will be not correct. God is so far above us that we cannot make an accurate picture, so it is not actually God.
2. I think that he would say the same for this generation since God has not fully revealed himself to us yet. I think that what he means by the contemporary God is only slightly above the Greek and Roman Gods is that the Greek and Roman Gods were all powerful, and could create which is the same as the contemporary Christian God.
3. I believe that this quote is true, because we are naturally curious people, and there is so much that is unknown to us, and we long to know about it all, including who we are, and where we come from, and we can sense that there is a divine creator. I think that we can see this in all humans because everyone comes to a point where they don't feel satisfied with the answers of the world, and feel like there is something more.
4. I think that Tozer uses a feminine pronoun to describe the soul because the church is the bride of Christ, so that means we are all brides to him.
Thank you, Jonny. I especially like the insight you've made that all people pursue God in the idols that we create or worship, but that these, in the end, never fully satisfy. As has been famously said, "there is a God-shaped hole in every human heart." That is a big "wound", and its only "ointment" is God himself. Thank you.
